1 Savior, while on earth I tarry,
Tune my heart to sing thy praise;
While thro’ faith there is within me,
Hope of life thro’ endless days.

Refrain:
How we shall sing, how we shall sing,
Of our dear Redeemer’s love,
How we shall sing, how we shall sing,
When we reach that home above.

2 Long I wandered heavy laden,
Toil and care my soul oppressed;
Till I heard thy sweet voice saying:
“Come to me, I’ll give thee rest.” [Refrain]

3 Now rejoice, my soul, with gladness,
Soon I’ll reach that happy shore;
And with saints and angels joining,
Sing his praise for evermore. [Refrain]
